Microsoft turns LG smart TVs into Xbox –

For those who do not keep their finger on the pulse of the video game industry, it may be influenced by the power of novelty that, according to Microsoft’s definition, not only the console it manufactures can be an Xbox, but essentially everything else on which the subscription Game Pass service is available. The people of Redmond even made a special advertising spot to illustrate this recently. Here it is:

The announcement made at CES 2025, according to which after Samsung the Xbox app also arrives on LG smart televisionswhich allows us to play many of the hundreds of games in the Game Pass catalog even without an Xbox console. Of course, in order to stream Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 or STALKER 2 directly from the cloud to the TV via Xbox Cloud Gaming (Bate) : Heart of Chornobyl, we definitely have to subscribe to the service, choosing the most expensive Ultimate level, which costs HUF 5,490 per month. You will need a compatible controller for control.

So far, neither LG nor Xbox have revealed exactly when and on which models the application will be available, nor in which countries, but it does not hurt to know that Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) recently added a useful new function.
